The shell partially surrounds the main body and the basic portion of the main body extends out of the shell. The holding element has a surrounding portion clasping the shell and a holding arm for holding the cable therein.
When the power plug is disposed in the receiving hole of the jig for being assembled, the positioning portion is engaged with the engaging portion for preventing the power plug from rotating in the receiving hole, which is beneficial for the assembly of the power plug. And according to the position of the positioning portion, the position of the terminal inserted into the main body can be identified.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a combination of a set of power plugs according to the present invention and a jig used for assembling the power plugs; and
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the power plugs and the jig shown in FIG. 1, wherein one of the power plugs is exploded.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a power plug 20 according to the present invention and a jig 10 adapted for assembling the power plug 20 are shown. The jig 10 defines a plurality of receiving holes 11 passing through a top surface and a bottom surface thereof and a plurality of grooves 12 on the upper surface passing through a rear surface thereof and communicating with the respective receiving holes 11. An engaging portion 13 is recessed in the inner surface of each receiving hole 11.
The power plug 20 includes a main body 21, a terminal 22, a holding element 23, a fixing element 24, and a shell 25.
The main body 21 has a cylindrical basic portion 211. A portion of the outer circumference of basic portion 211 protrudes outward to form a tapering positioning portion 212. A connecting portion 213 of a cylindrical shape extends downward from a bottom surface of the basic portion 211 and an extending portion 214 of a cylindrical shape extends downward from a bottom surface of the connecting portion 213. The basic portion 211, the connecting portion 213 and the extending portion 214 are disposed coaxially and the diameters of them are gradually decreased in turn. A recess (not shown) is formed in the extending portion 214 passing therethrough. An inserting hole 215 is formed in an upper surface of the basic portion 211 and passes through the basic portion 211 and the connecting portion 213. The inserting hole 215 communicates with the recess and two opposite sides of the inserting hole 215 are arc-shaped. The recess and the inserting hole 215 compose a passageway.
The terminal 22 has a substantially cylindrical inserting portion 221. An elongated connecting piece 222 extends upward from an upper end of the inserting portion 221. A rectangular soldering piece 223 extends upward from a free end of the connecting piece 222 for being soldered with a cable (not shown). A soldering aperture 2231 is formed in a middle portion of the soldering piece 223.
The holding element 23 includes an annular surrounding portion 231, a U-shaped holding portion 232 and a connecting arm 233 connecting the surrounding portion 213 with the holding portion 232. The cable soldered with the soldering piece 223 is held in the holding portion 232.
The fixing element 24 includes a fixing portion 241 and an extending pillar 242 of a columnar shape extending downward from a bottom surface of the fixing portion 241. Two opposite sides of the fixing portion 241 are arc-shaped corresponding to the inserting hole 215.
The shell 25 includes an upper tubular portion 251 and a lower tubular portion 252 extending downward from a bottom portion of the upper tubular portion 251. The external diameter of the upper tubular portion 251 is bigger than that of the lower tubular portion 252. A cavity 253 is formed in the shell 25 and passes therethrough along the axis of the shell 25.
In assembly, firstly, the main body 21 is inserted into the cavity 253 of the shell 25, the connecting portion 213 and the extending portion 214 are respectively surrounded by the upper tubular portion 251 and the lower tubular portion 252, and the basic portion 211 extends out of the shell 25. Secondly, the surrounding portion 231 of the holding element 23 clasps the upper tubular portion 251 of the shell 25 and then the combination of the main body 21, the shell 25 and the holding element 23 is arranged in receiving hole 11 of the jig 10. More specially, the positioning portion 212 is engaged in the engaging portion 13 of the jig 10 and the connecting arm 233 is held in the groove 12. Thirdly, the terminal 22 is inserted into the main body 21. More specially, the inserting portion 221 and the connecting piece 222 is received passageway, the soldering piece 223 extends out of the main body 21, and the connecting piece 222 is disposed in one side of the inserting hole 215 adjacent to the positioning portion 212. At last, the fixing element 24 is inserted into the inserting hole 215 of the main body 21. The extending pillar 242 is inserted into the inserting portion 221 of the terminal 22 and the fixing portion 241 is received in the inserting hole 215 and fixes the connecting piece 222 in the inserting hole 215.
As the two opposite sides of the fixing portion 241 of the fixing element 24 are arc-shaped, the fixing element 24 is inserted into the inserting hole 215 more smoothly and the fixing element 24 is fixed in the inserting hole 215 more firmly.
As described above, the main body 21 of the power plug 20 according to the present invention defines the positioning portion 212 on the outer circumference of the basic portion 211, when the main body 21 is arranged in the receiving hole 11 of the jig 10, the positioning portion 212 of the main body 21 is engaged with the engaging portion 13 of the jig 10 for preventing the main body 21 from rotating in the receiving hole 11, which is beneficial for the assembly of the power plug 20. As the main body 21 is relative immovable in the receiving hole 11, the terminal 22 fixed in the main body 21 is relative immovable to the jig 10. So the assembly of mounting the cable to the terminal 22 is simply. And according to the position of the positioning portion 212, the position of the terminal 22 inserted into the main body 21 can be identified.
The foregoing description of the present invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. Such modifications and variations that may be apparent to those skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined by the accompanying claims.
